I was really surprised by how much I liked this figure when I saw it in person. I have pretty much sworn off Sideshow but this one is really tempting.
The official back story I posted a couple pages back is pretty sweet but its also nice to come up with your own ideas.
I read that back story thing. So what is up with Kenobi and Beru?
Read it again.
Yeah I did. I need to clean my contacts
I imagine a Mythos Vader could be very much like this.

At the collectibles panel, SSC said they were "returning to the Mythos line but this time in 1/6th". Read into that what you will. He then texted his co-worker on the floor and they put him out in the case after the panel. They had nothing else in 1/6th to offer. Everything else was 1:1 figures and busts for the most part and a slide of their premium format figures from the OT (which all look like crap to me but that is just my opinion).
So, this is essentially dead. I asked Sideshow's Star Wars project manager, Matt Bischoff, at Comic Con last Wednesday about the Vader they had teased, as well as a Boba Fett that would have been next in a series of planned sixth scale McQuarrie figures (he said back in 2015 that the plan had been to release them in the opposite order of the statue releases), and he said that Vader and Boba Fett (and presumably, a sixth scale McQ Stormtrooper) are indefinitely on hold. He said the McQuarrie statues sold well but not in the numbers they would need to move forward on articulated figures, which are much more expensive to make. Combine that with all the Star Wars movies and TV shows out, coming out, and in the works, which is apparently where Lucasfilm wants them to focus. He didn't want to rule out ever releasing the sixth scale McQuarrie Vader and the other figures they had designed, but it also sounded like the Obi Wan Mythos figure is probably the only "not seen on screen" figure we'll get for quite a while.
Sideshow seems real fond of making the head and neck separate so there is a ugly visible neck joint.
Hmmm....
I wonder SSC really knows what will happen or if they are just sort of playing it by ear. Like was posted above I don't see them missing out on an opportunity to do Vader or Boba Fett especially since they've got fairly recent base models they can use in 1:6 and just tweak them but it is interesting that we're not getting a straight answer on Sideshow Star Wars 1:6
This looks cool, but I'm sure SS will ask a ridiculous price for it. If snowspeeder luke was $270. I would guess this is $290.
